perhaps the most impressive thing about this song is the sampled harp
sound. i was convinced that they had hired andreas wollenweider (or 
some such harpist) to play on that track the first time i heard it.
perhaps this ties in with your comments about the engineering too: the
crystalline sample is gorgeous.

>What I like about Kate is that she never gets stuck, artisticly speaking.

this begs the question of evolution/development versus just changing gears.

linda ronstadt? david bryne? ethnic?

there's lots of little bits here and there that show an attention to detail,
but as you say, it doesn't gel. i still think it sounds like a splattered
canvas rather than a completed work, despite all the tiny bits that are
buried in the mix (like the wave sounds near the end).
